Haze - The Water's Edge (2024)

The eight album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

A handful of guests added fiddle, flute, saxophone and vocals.

Haze was one of those first generation neo-prog bands who never got the breakthrough the likes of Marillion got. Nevertheless, Haze has been releasing albums since 1984. That is forty years ago.

The Water's Edge continues in the same vein as their previous album Back To The Bones from 2020.

This means a blend of neo-prog and folk rock.  

There is also some good old 1970s hard rock in their music. Not much but still enough to add some colours and quality to this one hour long album.

One hour and five minutes to be more precise. The vocals is good and the band does a good job. The organ sound adds some vintage hard rock and prog rock to this album. 

The songs are also good and this is a good, enjoyable album which will enhance this band's already good reputation and may win them some new fans.
